Player to watch – Trincão
Former Braga winger Trincao is thriving at Sporting this season and he and his club are on the cusp of more silverware.
Trincao, who spent time at Barcelona and Wolves, has chipped in with eight goals and five assists in the Primeira Liga this season, making him a key player for the club.
A winger with goals and assists in him
We're backing Trincao to put in another top performance against Vitoria Guimaraes this weekend and wouldn't be surprised if he setup another goal just as he did in Sporitng's last match.
